Meet Michelle Accorso

Michelle Accorso, a 1999 graduate of SOTA, is teaching seventh-grade visual arts rollover classes this year. She's one of several arts teachers working "out of certification" right now because of the budget cuts the school experienced. Though she's really a drama specialist, she has a background that includes digital media and writing.
Ms. Accorso earned a degree from Marymount Manhattan College with a concentration in writing for theater, film and television. After college, she worked in film and television production in New York City for nine years before returning home to become a teacher. She is working on a master's degree to obtain certification in drama, English and special education. This is her second year teaching at SOTA.
Ms. Accorso's other duties include teaching eighth-grade drama rollover classes, 11th grade costume design, and directing this winter's "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe."
